I haven't seen that before, but if you'll explain what it does, it'd be
easier to come up with an equivalent.

`rawclock' is buggy in the current version. Presently, it actually returns
the number of clock ticks since it was first called. In v2.02, it will work
like the documentation says.

You could use `time(NULL)' instead, which is also more portable (ANSI). If
you expect to run your program more than once a second, you could use the
`tv_usec' field returned by `gettimeofday', which is POSIX. See the docs.
